• Computing Science Seminar. du Boulay on "Motivation in Learning"

  06 November 2014, 11:00 - 12:00

  Abstract:  Intelligent Tutoring Systems and Intelligent Learning Environments have traditionally focused on adapting the content of the material that their students undertake according to the individual needs of each student.  For the most part this has meant adapting to the intellectual progress that the students are making through whatever domain...

• Computing Science Seminar. Baader on "Ontology-based Monitoring of Dynamic Systems"

  05 November 2014, 15:00 - 16:00

  Abstract:  Our understanding of the notion “dynamic system” is a rather broad one: such a system has states, which can change over time. Ontologies are used to describe the states of the system, possibly in an incomplete way. Monitoring is then concerned with deciding whether some run of the system or all of its...

October

• Computing Science Seminar. Eiter on"Towards a Logic-based Framework for Analyzing Stream Reasoning"

  29 October 2014, 14:00 - 15:00

  Abstract:  The rise of smart applications has drawn interest to logical reasoning over data streams. Recently, different query languages and stream processing / reasoning engines were proposed in different communities. However, due to a lack of theoretical foundations, the expressivity and semantics of diverse approaches was given only informally. Towards clear specifications and means for...

• Computing Science Seminar. Curé on "WaterFowl: a Compact, Self-indexed RDF Store based on Succinct Data Structures

  24 September 2014, 14:00 - 15:00

  Abstract: This talk will start with an introduction of the main strategies for storing and indexing RDF data sets. This will consider solutions based on a native RDF approach but also approaches using a relational or NoSQL storage backend. Then, I will present the main features of an on-going work that...

• Computing Science Seminar. Pérez on "When History Matters - Assessing Reliability for the Reuse of Scientific Workflows"

  29 August 2014, 14:00 - 15:00

  Abstract: Scientific workflows play an important role in computational research, as the essential artifacts for communicating the methods used to produce the research findings. We are witnessing a growing number of efforts of treating workflows as first-class artifacts for sharing and exchanging scientific knowledge, either as part of scholarly articles or...
